Cars swerved around her for four hours. Still, the stray dog kept returning to the highway with a cracked pink helmet between her teeth—until seven bikers finally stopped instead of driving past. The dog refused to surrender the helmet. She looked at it, then toward a deep ravine beside the road. Hidden below was an unconscious little girl who had crashed her bicycle hours earlier. The dog did not know her. She had simply discovered that the child was invisible from the highway, while the bright helmet made humans react. Grace survived, and her family later adopted the stray they named Beacon. Yet one detail in the truck’s dash-camera recording changed how rescuers understood everything: Beacon had returned to Grace three separate times before choosing the object that finally made someone stop.

Trump, you lost the 2020 election. If the election was rigged, it was rigged by your administration as your administration was in charge leading up to, during and after the election. There was no foreign interference. There was no fraud. The election was not stolen. You lost old man. I would say deal with it, but that would require a level of emotional maturity you obviously lack.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

Todd Blanche, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, was referred to the New York State bar by a federal judge for ethics violations and disciplinary action.

Over 100 former federal judges have filed complaints against him, accusing him of using the DOJ to shield the president’s criminal conduct.

Todd Blanche is also stonewalling full release of the Epstein files.

He refuses to investigate any of Epstein predators, despite evidence collected by the FBI and testimony from the victims.

The only reason republicans have to confirm Todd Blanche, is to protect Trump’s criminal syndicate and the Epstein class.

Hunter Biden on Trump: “I would tell him to go fuck his fucking self. And please leave. This man has tried to torture me for fucking ten years. The shit that he says about my dad. His obsession with tormenting my dad. Hanging a picture of an autopen on the colonnade. Demeaning him and all the things he said about him. What the fuck kind of man would I be if I didn’t tell him to go fuck himself?”

Daily Presidential Post

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is right.

When U.S. companies hire undocumented workers, profit from their labor, and then our government criminalizes the workers instead of holding the employers accountable, that is not justice.

That is exploitation.

People come here to work. They build our homes, prepare our food, clean our buildings, care for our families, and keep entire industries running.

If America wants to have an honest conversation about immigration, then we need to stop pretending this is only about “papers.”

It is about labor.
It is about power.
It is about human rights.
It is about a system that benefits from people’s work, then punishes them for being here.

No human being should be detained, abused, or killed because they were trying to survive and provide for their family.

Accountability cannot stop with the worker. It must include the companies, the policies, and the politicians who created this broken system.

We need immigration reform rooted in dignity, due process, worker protections, and human rights.

It's been 9 months since Dad died.

And there's a couple things I want to say about his care that I think applies to many people.

Dad was a guinea pig for cancer research at Princess Margaret for almost 40 years. Every experimental treatment, experimental chemo, he took as requested.

He never once denied a request to be used for cancer research. It took a lot out of him. I even escorted him on some visits to Princess Margaret for checks and treatment so I saw it up close.

He had a full cancer team who monitored him for their various research projects.

Dad gave back so much of himself.

The thing is, that careful care and attention disappeared as soon as Dad's condition started heading toward death. It was a long painful torturous journey. He suffered in pain, horribly, right up to the end, with no palliative care drugs whatsoever. That was horrorendous unnecessary lapse.

No one among his team of doctors wanted to take responsibility for the last stage of his life, after taking so much from him for so long.

Then Dad died. No phone call. No note of sympathy from anyone on his cancer team. No one even attended his memorial.

If I thought this was an uncommon oversight, I would have kept my hurt feelings about it, quiet.

But I don't think it is.

It reflects an enduring problem in the medical profession of lacking compassion or bed-side manner.

I hope some doctors and cancer researchers see this note, and it gives them some reflection.

Thank you.

BREAKING: THANK YOU! Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan terrifies her MAGA "co-workers" by boldly calling for a binding ethics panel to finally hold the court accountable — while Amy Coney Barrett was sitting right beside her.

Thomas and Alito just started sweating bullets...

“I think that we would be better off with an enforcement mechanism, and I think, you know, that’s not to say I think that my colleagues aren’t taking this code incredibly seriously,” Kagan said while testifying before Congress.

“We’re all, you know, making every effort, and I think successful efforts to live by it. But if nothing else, for public confidence, right?” she added. “An enforcement mechanism can also make clear that not every accusation, every charge, has anything to it.”

This is a firm but overly diplomatic assessment from Kagan. The liberal justices certainly take the code of conduct seriously — as evinced by the fact that none of them have been caught in corruption scandals — but the conservative justices aren't nearly as committed to ethical behavior.

Both Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been caught accepting in-kind bribes from powerful Republican billionaires in the form of luxury travel, gifts, and expensive vacations. They're living like sultans, destroying the semblance of propriety and undermining the legitimacy of the court in the process. Just based on what we know already, both of them should have been impeached and removed long ago.

"You know, on the Code of Conduct, as you noted, we, the nine justices all agreed to a Code of Conduct," Kagan said. "It's specifically geared towards the Supreme Court. As you also noted, there is a question about enforceability..."

"And right now, the mechanism has no enforceability system," she explained. "And this is something on which various people have spoken in the past. And, you know, I've made my views known in the past, which is that I think we should work hard to try to figure out some enforcement system."

"I will say that that's an extremely difficult question for a pretty obvious reason, I think, which is that I don't think that you would want an enforcement system that was controlled by the executive branch or by the legislature," Kagan went on.

"And this is because of what you said in your opening statement about the importance of judicial independence," she said. "You know, you don't want a president picking an inspector general to decide, you know, which of us is breaking the rules or how we're breaking the rules."

This is an astute point from Kagan. While we absolutely need an ethics panel to keep watch over the court, it cannot be controlled by the White House. Imagine if Trump had an ethics attack dog that he could sic on the liberal justices to lay the groundwork for impeaching them on fabricated charges. He has already displayed a horrifying willingness to politicize the Justice Department and FBI for partisan purposes. We simply cannot trust him or future Republican Presidents with direct, enforceable oversight over the Supreme Court.

"So, I think it really has to come from within the judiciary," Kagan continued. "And that's hard because, you know, we sit at the top of the Judiciary Committee. So, it's hard to figure out how to have a system that makes use of judicial resources to police us."

"One idea that has been suggested by some people is to use respected retired judges. That has, you know, some pros, some cons. I think that this remains an open question, a question of discussion," she said.

Meanwhile, conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett was sitting beside Kagan during the hearing. She was visibly uncomfortable with the line of questions, presumably because she didn't want to throw her idealogical compatriots under the bus, and so she stated that she's "not quite sure" and "less certain" about Kagan's suggestions.

What do you think the best course of actions is?

Please ❤️ and share if you support an independent ethics panel!

🚨 Rep. Sarah Jacobs just left Pete Hegseth STUNNED in this hearing.
With 2,500 Marines from her district off the coast of Iran and military families calling her office in panic, she asked the question no one else would:
“Do you believe the president is mentally stable enough to be Commander-in-Chief?”
Hegseth deflected hard.
She didn’t flinch.
Then she dropped this:“If you think this is what winning looks like… maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.”
Pure accountability. No notes.
It takes a woman to say what needs to be said when lives and billions of dollars are on the line. This clip is everything.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Phang: Inside his order, Judge Sullivan said that I am likely to succeed on the merits of my lawsuit, which speaks to the bigger success. Because the ultimate goal is the entirety of the Epstein files being produced, including the shit that Blanche continues to sit on, making sure it’s properly redacted.

Who’s supposed to find out if it’s properly redacted? The special master. And so it all kind of fits together in the bigger picture puzzle.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Our hero journalist Katie Phang is about to break Trump’s pedophilia case of a 13 years old raped by trump. The judge sided with Katie, demanding Todd Blanche release the remaining FBI files on the trump’s rape allegation by July 2nd. This maybe trump’s worst 4th of July.
